been thinking about upgrading my Strat pickups... Mark Foley gets a lot of good press, and seems to have a lot of vintage type Strat players singing his praises
ive heard a few clips of his 60's pre CBS and seem closer to the tone im looking for.
just wondered if anyone here is or has used them? and what their thoughts are on them compared to other brands vintage type pickups?
he's also done a colab with Peach guitars to recreate SRV's number one Strat set which also has my attention..
i guess what im looking for is a more open and dynamic sound than the CS hot 60's which i currently have
Thanks Alex

Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
There's a great video in there too. John also used them for our Guitar Mag collaboration for the SRV edition vid here -
Honestly some of the best pups I've ever played.
Plenty of great inexpensive pickups out there but honestly, if you play them you'd not for a moment suggest they were overpriced.

I also recall that under 'Fatboy' he was also selling Amalfitano pickups from the USA - So not sure if he was making his own p/ups back then - Not sure when this part of his business started - Think he was operating from the Isle of Wight
